- O&M;, EPC and OEM coordination: Review and audit maintenance execution, work quality and contractor performance. Pursue equipment defects, warranties, pending works, performance commitments and corrective actions through to closure.
- Commissioning and shutdowns: Plan and coordinate engineering readiness, commissioning, maintenance shutdowns and restart activities,
ensuring appropriate manpower, spares, tools, safety arrangements and completion checks.
- Spares, resources and documentation: Establish critical-spares requirements and review spare consumption and maintenance-resource utilisation with Operations and Stores. Maintain equipment records, drawings, P&IDs;, manuals, inspection reports and as-built documentation.
- Engineering compliance and safety: Coordinate applicable engineering-related statutory inspections, certifications and safety requirements with responsible personnel and advisers.
Conduct maintenance audits and ensure identified deficiencies are addressed.
- Improvements and projects: Lead engineering inputs for modifications, debottlenecking, technology upgrades, expansion and other Group projects. Evaluate technical proposals and work with the Process & Technical team to improve reliability and efficiency.
- Performance and accountability: Review maintenance-team capability and performance, identify training and resource gaps, and report plant availability, downtime, recurring failures, maintenance completion and unresolved engineering risks to management.
Relevant experienceHands-on engineering and maintenance leadership in sugar refining or other continuous-process industrial plants, with robust exposure to utilities, commissioning, shutdowns, equipment reliability and contractor/OEM coordination. The role requires practical multidisciplinary understanding, sound technical judgement and the ability to build maintenance systems, challenge inadequate work and follow problems through to resolution.
